Explanation:

Statement 1 is wrong in first Anglo-Maratha war which won by Marathas under the leadership of Mahadjishinde near Talegaon without taking help from Mysore and Hyderabad. Marathas were used scorched earth policy, burning farm land and poisoning wells, against Britishers.

Statement 2 is correct Warren Hastings rejected treaty of wadgaon and sent large force of soldiers. Sindhia proposed new treaty between Peshwa and the English and signed treaty of Salbai was signed in May 1782.The treaty guaranteed peace between the two sides for twenty years. Statement 3 is wrong as Britishers were led by Warren Hastings not by Lord Cornwallis.
